I find the complaint lacking in logic.

I am Roman Catholic, and my nephew, a born again, is of the belief that if I persist in my faith, I am damned to hell.

I am not offended by his belief; it is his to hold. I accept his concern for my soul, as misguided as it is. I do not take it as an insult.

He’s just wrong, but I still love him.

I certainly understand. My in-laws are all devout Catholics, and my family are all Protestants. The only time one of the in-laws said anything was a comment by an elderly uncle who wanted to talk about Protestants and "their made-up religion". Everybody hushed him up, and we peacefully coexist. They're all salt of the earth, I love them dearly.
